Retroblogging 1980: July 7, 1980

July 7, 1980

Today I woke up and put J.J. down again to go to sleep because he wakes up before everyone else. Grandma came on Thursday night, the night before the fourth of July. That night I got to sleep at Audrey's house. It was fun. The next day we ate outside. And we went to the parade. Today I went to school. Today is the first day of the last week of school. Today it may rain. Maybe we can sleep in our tent.

Motto since 2015

About Me

"There can be only one," but one is enough! Auntie Nettie blogs in New York, from a small art studio surrounded by yarn, books, and craft projects in various states of completion. When she's not crafting or asleep (wishful thinking, she is chronically sleep-deprived), she's a fund-raiser/administrator for a unique music and arts organization, a former database guru for one of the country's premiere conservatories, a former music librarian, a free-lance editor/writer, and a minuscule business-owner, or she's off running around NYC trying to see friends, on the train or some other mass transit, travelling all over the country to see her extended network of friends and family, OR just going crazy in general.

Blog Mission

The blog was started to be a loose record of Auntie Nettie’s life, mostly for the purpose of entertaining herself, and by extension, her nieces and nephews. As the kids get older and can read, hopefully they can use this blog as a way to get to know their Auntie Nettie better and read about shared visits, family members, and/or family stories that they may not remember or know.Frei Aber Einsam
